# Spinnable ID and Spinnable

> Two products from the same team. Both give an AI their own identity. What differs is who does the thinking, and who pays for it.

Spinnable ID and Spinnable are made by the same team, and they have a lot in common. In both, your AI has **their own identity**: a name, a face, an email address and a WhatsApp number. They talk to people as themselves, never as you.

The difference is the **engine**: the AI that does the thinking, planning and writing.

>
> **Managed AI workers.** They run on the Spinnable engine, which we build and run for you. The work they do uses Spinnable **Work Credits** from your Spinnable plan.

> [card] Spinnable ID
>
> **Your own AI, with an identity.** The Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for does the thinking, so your AI uses that plan and **far fewer Spinnable Work Credits**.

## Which one is right for you?

> [accordion] You already pay for Claude or ChatGPT
>
> Start with **Spinnable ID**. It gives the AI you already use their own identity, and setup takes a few minutes on WhatsApp. See [Get started](https://docs.spinnable.id/quickstart.md).

> [accordion] You want a team of managed AI workers
>
> Look at **Spinnable**. We run the engine, and you hire workers for different roles in your team. See [docs.spinnable.ai](https://docs.spinnable.ai).

> [accordion] You're already a Spinnable customer
>
> You don't have to choose. You can switch any of your workers to run on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, so they use far fewer Work Credits. They keep their name, face, email, WhatsApp and memory. See [Run a Spinnable worker on Claude or ChatGPT](https://docs.spinnable.id/guides/run-a-worker-on-claude-or-chatgpt.md).
